Forgiveness
Sara Tawadros
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Div in Clinical Counselling
Forgiveness is the process of letting go of resentment or anger towards someone who has caused harm or hurt. It is a decision to release negative feelings and to move on from the pain caused by the actions of another person. Forgiveness is not about forgetting what happened or denying the harm that was caused, but rather it is about accepting that the event happened and choosing to let go of feelings of anger and resentment. Forgiveness can be difficult, but it can also be a powerful tool for healing and personal growth. It can help to improve relationships, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve overall well-being. While it may not always be easy, forgiveness can be an important step towards finding peace and moving forward in life.

Pursue You Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P
Holding onto resentment, guilt, or past wounds can feel heavy and exhausting. At Pursue You Psychotherapy, we help individuals navigate the complex emotions tied to forgiveness—whether it’s forgiving others, yourself, or simply finding peace with what cannot be changed. Forgiveness doesn’t mean excusing harm or forgetting—it’s about freeing yourself from the weight of anger and pain so you can move forward.
We provide treatment that targets:
-Resentment & Unresolved Hurt – Struggling to let go of past betrayals, injustices, or disappointments.
-Self-Forgiveness & Guilt – Carrying shame over past mistakes or struggling to move forward with self-compassion.
-Anger & Bitterness – Feeling stuck in frustration, seeking closure, or wanting to release emotional burdens.
-Broken Trust in Relationships – Navigating forgiveness after betrayal, family conflict, or relational wounds.
-Letting Go of Perfectionism – Learning to accept yourself and others despite past imperfections or failures.
-Fear of Being Hurt Again – Wanting to forgive but struggling with trust, boundaries, and emotional safety.
Our therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Self-Compassion Practices, Inner Healing & Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Emotional Processing to help you work through pain, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and cultivate a sense of peace—without minimizing your experiences. Forgiveness is a journey, not a destination. Whether you’re working on releasing anger, rebuilding trust, or learning to be kinder to yourself, we’re here to guide you toward healing in a way that honors your emotions and personal boundaries

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you feel weighed down by hurt, resentment, or unfinished emotions from the past? Many of us grow up believing we’re supposed to “move on,” let things go quickly, or forgive before we’re ready. Anger, grief, or boundaries may have felt unacceptable, leaving those emotions unresolved and carried quietly over time.
These feelings are not a sign of bitterness or failure—they’re signals that something meaningful needs to be acknowledged. Forgiveness is not about excusing harm or forcing closure; it’s about understanding what you’ve been holding and deciding what you want to carry forward. Together, we can explore your experiences at your pace, clarify what forgiveness means for you, and support you in finding relief, clarity, and a lighter sense of self. You’re holding this for a reason. Let’s explore why—and what comes next.

Forgiveness
Michelle Directo
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP, ExA
Forgiveness is a process. Someone who has wronged us can build intense anger, resentment, and bitterness. It can affect our relationship with self and others. Forgiveness does not mean reconciliation with the offender. It does not mean accepting or forgetting the wrongdoing. Let us discover together how we can deepen our understanding of forgiveness and what that means to you.

Forgiveness
Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
Are you noticing that the burden of resentment or self-blame has become too difficult to carry? Do you find yourself stewing on events from the past - locked in painful waves of anger, regret, disappointment, and self-doubt? Are you looking for clarification and emotional freedom?
Learning to cultivate forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting or denying the pain of your experience. It also doesn't mean having to say or do something for another person. It is all about doing something meaningful for you. It involves learning to give back to yourself what has been lost, reclaiming who you were before and nurturing self-forgiveness.
I am here for you, holding a safe and supportive space. Together, you and I will explore ways to hold yourself kindly, develop skills to manage pain and weather emotional storms, and begin reconnecting with what is essential to how you want to live your life now.

9 Years Experience
Online in Burlington, ON Ontario (Online Only)
Burlington is one of the most affluent cities in the Greater Toronto Area — situated between Hamilton and Oakville along the western shore of Lake Ontario — with a largely White, upper-middle-class population and a therapy culture shaped by the stresses of high-income suburban family life, corporate careers, and the pressure to maintain prosperity across generations. Joseph Brant Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving the Alton Village, Tansley, and Millcroft neighborhoods. Burlington's relative homogeneity is changing as immigration diversifies the population, with growing South Asian and East Asian communities beginning to shape a broader range of therapy demand. The city's proximity to Hamilton's therapy ecosystem and the broader GTA network means specialist care is generally accessible for those willing to travel or use telehealth.
